effect using 'tile clones...'
by Claus Cyrny 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

Hi all, can someone give me a clue on how to accomplish this effect: http://inkscape.sourceforge.net/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.37-linux-xml… I tried it using 'tile clones...' plus the XML editor, but to no avail! :-( So far, I can only imagine doing all of this by hand!

Is there a way to view clip art from within inkscape? I have heard reference to it but could not find it. Thanks

Question about Inkscape Graphics Library
by Landon Blake 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05

What graphics API or library does Inkscape use to actually paint the graphics on the screen? Does it use XWindows geometries via GTK+, or does it have more direct access to the graphics hardware by using something like OpenGL? Thanks, Landon

Can't move forward
by Bungee 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

I seem to be stuck with Inkscape 0.41 at the moment :( If I try the 0.42 RPM I get a symbol library error - sorry can't remember the exact details. If I try to compile the more recent 0.42.2 'make' reports that I don't have recent enough gdk and gtk libraries. I'm using mandrake 10.1, which I would have thought was *reasonably* up-to-date, and I'm not keen on the idea of fiddling around with these libraries and risking a lot of dependency problems for the sake of one application :( -- Bungee

I have been using Ubuntu "Hoary" now for some time, and it's really amazing how many programs you can download or upgrade from the various repositories! All you need is an Internet connection. Prior to Ubuntu I also used Mandrake 10 for a while (and before that, SuSE 9.1), but Ubuntu is so user-friendly that I can really recommend it! I updated from Inkscape 0.30 to 0.41 via just one command line ('sudo apt-get update inkscape'). I admit that I'm still getting some error messages because I need to include some additional sources (which can be a bit confusing, but the forum http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ is great, and you usually get friendly & helpful replies). I'm looking forward to v 0.42! HTH, Claus P.S.: BTW, can someone give me a clue on how to accomplish this effect: http://inkscape.sourceforge.net/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.37-linux-xml… I tried it using 'tile clones...' plus the XML editor, but to no avail! :-( So far, I can only imagine doing all of this by hand! -- Profile: http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/profil/en/ (in English) Djangology: http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/djangology/ (deutsch) Glossar "Computergrafik": http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/glossar/ (deutsch)

Close dialog box
by Hibbs, Phil 17 Sep '05

17 Sep '05

Does anyone else find the 'close' dialog box yo be confusing? It asks a question, and presents three options none of which are a direct answer to the question: Save changes to document "x" before closing? [Close without saving] [Cancel] [Save] Those options are effectively [No], [Cancel], [Yes] which doesn't seem a natural order for the answers either. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Senior Programmer __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.
